Burl

An abnormal, rounded outgrowth on a tree caused by stress, injury, or disease that produces a dense, swirling, highly figured wood grain when sliced into veneer. Burl veneers are among the most exotic and expensive decorative materials in cabinetry, used for accent panels, drawer fronts, and island features. Each burl slab is unique, delivering a one-of-a-kind pattern that elevates luxury kitchen designs.
